09 tc, its 4 months old. Its been doing this.

Before I bother taking it to the dealer just so they can tell me they cant find the problem I'd like to try and figure out what this problem is myself.

A rattle, that happens on almost any size bump, paint stripe, or divit in the road.

Anybody have this too?

Mine is terrible. I felt under the glove box and whatever plastic is there is very rattle-y. So I was thinking on the next warm day we have I might get under there and tighten some screws up. Its 19 degrees. today. Fail. :(

does it go away when you put pressure on the glove box itself? I had the same problem and put a piece of table napkin in the holes where it latches on. solved it for me.

Thanks Yanki! I'll give it a try.

Also, I believe you're the one who has the Precision Muffler, right? I'm thinking about getting one as well but I was wondering, are you still having trouble with a strange vibration at idle?

yea somewhat, but it has to do with the A/C not the muffler. I thought it was the muffler but when the A/C is on, at idle it will vibrate, when its off and at idle there's nothing?
